Italian chicken pasta

Ingredients

For cooking chicken:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut in half horizontally and dried with a paper towel)
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Pasta:

• 12 oz spaghetti
• Parmesan sauce with white wine:
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 small yellow onion (or use 1/2 onion), chopped
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 2 small diced tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup of white wine
• ½ cup grated parmesan
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon more salt to taste
• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. PREPARING CHICKEN BREAST: Make sure to cut the chicken breasts horizontally to make them thin. A paper towel dries the chicken.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Mix well. Using a fork or tongs, coat the chicken breasts in the flour mixture by pressing on them with tongs, then turn the chicken over to coat the other side. Put aside.
3. COOKING CHICKEN BREAST: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, place the flour-coated chicken breasts in the pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until browned on both sides and cooked, turning once between cooking, about 8 to 10 minutes. Rem0ve the chicken from the pan and set aside.
4. SAUCE: Add the butter, diced yellow onions and chopped garlic cloves to the pan. Cook over medium-high heat until onions and garlic are translucent, about 2 minutes. Then add the green onions and chopped tomatoes. Add 1 tablesp00n flour to the pan and whisk to combine.
5. N0w add the heavy cream, wine, Italian seasoning, salt and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese. Use a whisk or wooden spoon and mix until you get a homogeneous mixture.
6. COOKING PASTA according to the instructions for your packaging in salted water. I like pasta that is neither t00 hard nor too soft, so I always cook it Al Dente. Drain, but do not rinse.
7. FINAL ASSEMBLY: Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the sauce and stir to combine over low heat for 2 to 4 minutes. Taste and add salt if necessary. Return the chicken to the pan on top of the pasta and heat for another 5 minutes.
8. SERVE chicken on top or next to pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan, if desired.
